Conroe police are trying to track down a suspect who broke into a residence last week and tried to rape a woman as she slept.

The victim, 26, told investigators that she was asleep in her apartment in the 300 block of Gladstell Street on April 11 when she was awakened by a knife-wielding man, said Sgt. Dorcy Riddle of the Conroe Police Department.

The stranger ordered the woman to undress so that he could have sex with her, police said. The woman took off her shirt and bra, and told the man that she was on her menstrual cycle, Riddle said. The suspect, who was wearing a ski mask, continued to touch her.

The suspect eventually left, telling the woman that he return in a few days to rape her, Riddle said.

Investigators found no forced entry into the apartment, and it was unclear how the man got inside.

The victim told police that the man spoke with an accent, possibly Honduran.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Conroe PD investigator Jason Waller at 936-522-3200.
